I’ve been wanting a puppy and haven’t been able to decide what kind I want. All I know is that it has to be black and brown. There is a picture forming in my head and I have been having difficulty in figuring it out. I’ve always liked and gotten along with Rottweilers and Dobermans. … Continue reading
I have 2 older brothers. They both left for college before I was in 6th grade, so basically during my teenage years I was an only child. I did my best work in my younger years. They should thank me for being such a cool little sister who never ever ever annoyed them. Okay, okay…even … Continue reading

Picture worth a thousand words
Categories: Family, Shooting, WickedI’m not sure who created this in order to give proper credit (I’m posting via my mobile & can’t make out the icon below the title); it was emailed to me by one of my oh-my-God-how-can-you-even-think-about-touching-a-firearm friends.

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
Categories: Cooking, Family, FoodI spent the first day of 2012 at my friend’s house baking cookies. We baked a basic chocolate cookie, rolled and dipped in chopped nuts then finished off with a Hershey’s Kiss secured with basic confectionary icing. Sidenote: we quadrupled the recipe and didn’t have enough walnuts. We used walnuts, almonds and pecans. The dough has to chill … Continue reading

Never Go Hungry Again
Categories: Cooking, Family, FoodTags:: cooking, food
As a Yankee, I’ve never had the opportunity to experience Southern foods. Sure, I’ve lived with family in Virginia, but…they were family. Italian. Half of me. Fried chicken to us was bought from KFC or was what you’ve seen as my chicken cutlets on another post. (They are really goooooooooood) But I gotta tell ya … Continue reading

Changing of the Seasons
Categories: Family, sightseeing, weather, WickedYou know it’s Autumn when you drive to work and see every house on your commute down the mountain into the city with tendrils of smoke spewing from their chimneys.
